hold onto your anger

no amount of positive change in the world
which has advanced the betterment of us
as a species,
has come about by staring into the face of
idiocy, malicious intent, straight out murder,
slavery, oppression & genocide &
then trying to win it over with
concessions &
compassion---
it is discontent & rage
that have come about as a direct result of the forces in this world
which think that they can do to you what they want
when they want---
without it, there would be no
progress.

anger riles the individual
the individual gains strength
the strong individual speaks to another &
two become four,
four become eight---
sooner than later,
anger & anger alone
has brought together a mass of people
who understand that what has been going on
can no longer be so---

SOMETHING
HAS TO CHANGE

anger produces power in the “powerless”
by allowing them the courage to say that there is nothing to lose
when it comes to striving for
rights denied to you---

hold onto your anger
clench it in your fist & never let it go
for what you have inside you is
just---
what you have inside you is a need to utilize every part of your
being &
if your anger is all you have at your disposal
(that which cannot be tainted by those outside you),
then it is more beautiful than anything &
it is yours & yours alone---
it is representative of your own voice,
your own life &
your own ability to resist the destruction of your
will.
